I lived off of $10 for 2 weeks of groceries for many years some time ago. Got creative. I think out of everything made in the video the fajita would be the only thing I would touch.

Thanks for these lovely ideas! I am always looking for new things to try, especially cost effective meals! I was so excited when I saw this video post. Keep them coming! God Bless!❤

Good morning Melinda!
I've been with your channel since before you had 4k followers/subscribers, and while I've never commented before, I need to today.
Please keep doing the cooking videos! I love the DITL, and especially this type with your meals for the week.
I also LOVE you thrifting and shopping ones.

Melinda cheese in a block form is much healthier.as i was once told and read about it, that grated cheese contains chemical to keep it fresh in the bag..where as the block doesn't.x😊

[shirleygiordano]

Awesome recipes. I have to try these. I had to turn my head away when you used your knife. I'm scared of knives. Thanks for showing me affordable, healthy food! 😊❤

The stove on for over an hour uses a ton of electric. Microwave potatoes instead

[staffylover]

Hi Melinda, watching from Australia. Par boiling your large potato will enable them to cook faster in your oven. Save money on power just thought to mention. God bless you 🙏

I no longer buy ground beef because of the cost. Instead I use ground chicken which I get at Walmart for under $3.50 a pound.
